How to model a brush in Inventor?

I'm working on a project, and it includes a brush. Any suggestions on the best method to model the bristles? So far I have tried modeling the bristle area as one solid, then apply a so of appropriate texture, but I really don't like the look.

One body would be the brush. the other body would be a bristle (a cylinder). after you put the first then try with the array command
